Tonight, we will find out who
will win at the 65th Primetime Emmys. Will BREAKING BAD finally win the big
prize, and will MODERN FAMILY continue to dominate in comedy? Here’s a list of
the nominees and what my predictions are for tonight’s results...

BREAKING BAD
DOWNTON ABBEY
GAME OF THRONES
HOMELAND (2012 winner)
HOUSE OF CARDS
MAD MEN
I
personally think that HOUSE OF CARDS deserves to win, but with all the love and
attention that BREAKING BAD has been getting, with the show’s series finale
just a week away, it will probably be BREAKING BAD.
Outstanding
Actress In A Drama
Connie Britton, NASHVILLE
Claire Danes, HOMELAND (2012 winner)
Michelle Dockery, DOWNTON ABBEY
Vera Farmiga, BATES MOTEL
Elisabeth Moss, MAD MEN
Kerry Washington, SCANDAL
Robin Wright, HOUSE OF CARDS
Connie Britton, NASHVILLE
Claire Danes, HOMELAND (2012 winner)
Michelle Dockery, DOWNTON ABBEY
Vera Farmiga, BATES MOTEL
Elisabeth Moss, MAD MEN
Kerry Washington, SCANDAL
Robin Wright, HOUSE OF CARDS
This is a tough category to
predict. Claire Danes could take away the prize again, and Elisabeth Moss is a
very strong contender this year, but I’m putting my money on Vera Farmiga for
BATES MOTEL.
Outstanding
Actor In A Drama
Hugh Bonneville, DOWNTON ABBEY
Bryan Cranston, BREAKING BAD
Jeff Daniels, THE NEWSROOM
Jon Hamm, MAD MEN
Damian Lewis, HOMELAND (2012 winner)
Kevin Spacey, HOUSE OF CARDS
Hugh Bonneville, DOWNTON ABBEY
Bryan Cranston, BREAKING BAD
Jeff Daniels, THE NEWSROOM
Jon Hamm, MAD MEN
Damian Lewis, HOMELAND (2012 winner)
Kevin Spacey, HOUSE OF CARDS
Again, with BREAKING BAD as a
strong favorite this year, I think that Bryan Cranston will win his fourth Emmy
for the show. Another strong contender is Kevin Spacey. Many would like to see
Jon Hamm finally win for MAD MEN, but I don’t think that’s going to happen this
year.
Outstanding
Supporting Actress In A Drama
Anna Gunn, BREAKING BAD
Maggie Smith, DOWNTON ABBEY (2012 winner)
Emilia Clarke, GAME OF THRONES
Christine Baranski, THE GOOD WIFE
Morena Baccarin, HOMELAND
Christina Hendricks, MAD MEN
Anna Gunn, BREAKING BAD
Maggie Smith, DOWNTON ABBEY (2012 winner)
Emilia Clarke, GAME OF THRONES
Christine Baranski, THE GOOD WIFE
Morena Baccarin, HOMELAND
Christina Hendricks, MAD MEN
Anna Gunn is probably the
strongest contender here, but the Academy might just stick with last year’s
winner Maggie Smith. First time nominee Morena Baccarin could just walk away
with the prize, but I’m going to say that it’ll be Anna Gunn.
Outstanding
Supporting Actor In A Drama
Bobby Cannavale, BOARDWALK EMPIRE
Jonathan Banks, BREAKING BAD
Aaron Paul, BREAKING BAD (2012 winner)
Jim Carter, DOWNTON ABBEY
Peter Dinklage, GAME OF THRONES
Mandy Patinkin, HOMELAND
Bobby Cannavale, BOARDWALK EMPIRE
Jonathan Banks, BREAKING BAD
Aaron Paul, BREAKING BAD (2012 winner)
Jim Carter, DOWNTON ABBEY
Peter Dinklage, GAME OF THRONES
Mandy Patinkin, HOMELAND
Mandy
Patinkin seems to be a hot favorite in this category, but I still think that
Aaron Paul is the most deserving contender. So I think he will win his third
Emmy for BREAKING BAD.
Outstanding
Comedy
30 ROCK
THE BIG BANG THEORY
GIRLS
LOUIE
MODERN FAMILY (2012 winner)
VEEP
30 ROCK
THE BIG BANG THEORY
GIRLS
LOUIE
MODERN FAMILY (2012 winner)
VEEP
This win will have been long
overdue for THE BIG BANG THEORY, and even though I think the Academy might
stick with MODERN FAMILY this year again, I’m going to take a chance and say that it’ll be THE BIG BANG THEORY.
Outstanding
Actress In A Comedy
Laura Dern, ENLIGHTENED
Lena Dunham, GIRLS
Edie Falco, NURSE JACKIE
Tina Fey, 30 ROCK
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, VEEP (2012 winner)
Amy Poehler, PARKS AND RECREATION
Laura Dern, ENLIGHTENED
Lena Dunham, GIRLS
Edie Falco, NURSE JACKIE
Tina Fey, 30 ROCK
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, VEEP (2012 winner)
Amy Poehler, PARKS AND RECREATION
It could be Lena Dunham, or maybe
Amy Poehler might finally get some recognition for PARKS AND REC, but I think
that the Academy will stick with Julia Louis-Dreyfus for VEEP.
Outstanding
Actor In A Comedy
Alec Baldwin, 30 ROCK
Jason Bateman, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
Louis CK, LOUIE
Don Cheadle, HOUSE OF LIES
Matt LeBlanc, EPISODES
Jim Parsons, THE BIG BANG THEORY
Alec Baldwin, 30 ROCK
Jason Bateman, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
Louis CK, LOUIE
Don Cheadle, HOUSE OF LIES
Matt LeBlanc, EPISODES
Jim Parsons, THE BIG BANG THEORY
My favorite in this category
would be Matt LeBlanc, but I doubt the Academy will give it to him. It could be
Louis CK, but I think that Jim Parsons will win a second Emmy for THE BIG BANG
THEORY this year.
Outstanding
Supporting Actress In A Comedy
Mayim Bialik, THE BIG BANG THEORY
Jane Lynch, GLEE
Julie Bowen, MODERN FAMILY (2012 winner)
Merritt Wever, NURSE JACKIE
Jane Krakowski, 30 ROCK
Sofia Vergara, MODERN FAMILY
Anna Chlumsky, VEEP
Mayim Bialik, THE BIG BANG THEORY
Jane Lynch, GLEE
Julie Bowen, MODERN FAMILY (2012 winner)
Merritt Wever, NURSE JACKIE
Jane Krakowski, 30 ROCK
Sofia Vergara, MODERN FAMILY
Anna Chlumsky, VEEP
Julie Bowen could win her third
Emmy, or the Academy could recognize first-time nominee Anna Chlumsky, but I
think that this year’s hot favorite Mayim Bialik will walk away with the prize.
Outstanding
Supporting Actor In A Comedy
Adam Driver, GIRLS
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, MODERN FAMILY
Ed O’Neill, MODERN FAMILY
Ty Burrell, MODERN FAMILY
Bill Hader, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
Tony Hale, VEEP
Adam Driver, GIRLS
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, MODERN FAMILY
Ed O’Neill, MODERN FAMILY
Ty Burrell, MODERN FAMILY
Bill Hader, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
Tony Hale, VEEP
It could be one of the first-time
nominees, Adam Driver or Tony Hale, but I think the Academy will go with a
MODERN FAMILY actor and I think it’ll be Ty Burrell this year.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM
BEHIND THE CANDELABRA
THE BIBLE
PHIL SPECTOR
POLITICAL ANIMALS
TOP OF THE LAKE
BEHIND THE CANELABRA will win
this year.
Lead
Actress In A TV Miniseries Or Movie
Jessica Lange, AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM
Laura Linney, THE BIG C: HEREAFTER
Helen Mirren, PHIL SPECTOR
Sigourney Weaver, POLITICAL ANIMALS
Elisabeth Moss, TOP OF THE LAKE
Jessica Lange, AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM
Laura Linney, THE BIG C: HEREAFTER
Helen Mirren, PHIL SPECTOR
Sigourney Weaver, POLITICAL ANIMALS
Elisabeth Moss, TOP OF THE LAKE
It could be Jessica Lange, who’s
won before, but I think the Academy will go with Elisabeth Moss.
Lead
Actor In A TV Miniseries Or Movie
Michael Douglas, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA
Matt Damon, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA
Toby Jones, THE GIRL
Benedict Cumberbatch, PARADE’S END
Al Pacino, PHIL SPECTOR
Michael Douglas, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA
Matt Damon, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA
Toby Jones, THE GIRL
Benedict Cumberbatch, PARADE’S END
Al Pacino, PHIL SPECTOR
I would like to see both Michael
Douglas and Matt Damon win, but I think it’ll be Michael Douglas.
So there it is! Who are your
favorites this year? Who would you be disappointed to see winning big tonight?
